Never Leave My Side (A Niall Horan Story)

Never Leave My Side (Chapter Sixteen)

*Sapphire's Point Of View*

Things have been slower. I've been lonely again now that Tori and Hannah have moved away. Niall is out on the road again, and Daniel has been upset and depressed. He barley talks to anyone anymore. I'm not sure what Demetry has been up to , and I haven't seen him in a while. "Hey da." I said walking into the kitchen. 

"Hey you. Why so glum?" He asked stirring the food on the stove. 

I sat down picking up a banana from the fruit tray. "Nothing. Just lonely. I wish Hannah and Tori could come back." I said before taking a bite of the banana. 

"What about  Daniel? He seems to need as much, if not more cheering up." Da said finally looking at me "I could see if they want to join us for dinner? I have time to make more." He finished while looking at the watch he wasn't really wearing around his wrist.

I took the last bite thinking about it. "Sure. I guess that could work."  I finally said. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I threw my peel away and took my phone out. I look at the screen and smiled.

From Niall: "Hey baby. Gosh it feel so good to be able to call you that. Anyway, just want you to know how much I miss you. I can't wait to get back. I need a cuddle, and Louis just isn't you. I've got to go now though. Sound check in a few minutes. See you soon. I love you X!" 

I chuckled, but couldn't stop laughing. This boy never seizes to amaze me.

To Niall: "Good luck with the show tonight. Let me know how it goes, yeah? I'll talk to you later, BBQ with Dustin and his family tonight. I love you too. XX!" I reply and picked up da's phone handing it to him.

"Alright. Okay see you guys soon." Da said hanging up. "They're on their way. They were in town anyway." Da went back to stirring. "Would you like to fire up the grill? And maybe you can do the steak tonight?" He asked with a wide smile on his face.

"Of course." I said. How could I say no to a smile like that? Da had a lot of cooking to do anyway. I made my way to the backyard and 'fired up the grill'. 

I didn't realize I had zoned out until I felt someone put their arms around me and their chin rest on my shoulder. I jumped a little, but relaxed after I looked down. "Hey Daniel." I said smiling. 

"Hey." He replied with a sigh. He unwrapped his arms and lifted his head up. "Your da asked me to bring you these." He said handing me the plate of steak.

"Thank you." I said taking it and putting it down. I finally turned around to look at him. His eyes were red and he had dark circles under his eyes. "Daniel. Have you not been sleeping?" I asked him.

He shook his head. " I can't sleep. When I close my eyes all I see is Hannah's beautiful, smiling face. And then I just cry. I miss her so much." Daniel said with tears in his eyes.

"Come here." I said wrapping my arms around him." I miss her too Daniel. Maybe we will see her soon." I said. He didn't say anything. His body was shaking, and I could tell he was crying again. "Shh. It's alright." I tried calming him, but that didn't work. He just hugged me tighter and cried harder.

*Harry's Point Of View*

"Amazing show guys. One of our best yet!" I shouted as we walked through the back. My heart was still racing, and my body still rushed with electricity and adrenaline. 

"I agree Harry. That was amazing." Louis said throwing his arm around me. "I am beat though. Sleep doens't com often anymore." He said now jumping on my back. 

"God you're heavy Lou." I said laughing. I carried him all the way to the dressing room. We just joked the whole way there. I couldn't wait to text Tori. I really miss her. I want to go see her soon, and see how she is doing at her new house. 

I dropped Louis the minute we reached the door and ran for my phone. I smiled seeing I already have a text from Tori.

From Tori <3: "Hey. How did the concert go? Hope it was amazing as always." 

To Tori <3: It was so amazing. Wish you were here though. That would have made it so much better. :( " I sent back to her.

"What are you smiling at?" Zayn said sitting next to me. When I turned around he was just smiling.  He already knows. 

"Shut up." I said playfully pushing him over. He just chuckled at me and stood up to finish changing. I felt my phone vibrate in my hand and instantly looked down opening the text.

From Tori <3: "Awe. That's sweet. Wish I was there too. It would have been amazing. Oh! And I miss you too Harry." 

I smiled at her words, and felt my stomach do a flip. Oh, I love how she makes me feel.

To Tori <3: "Awe. Stop. I'm blushing. The boys are going to poke fun at me." 

I sent back, laughing to myself. I felt the boys' eyes on me, but I didn't care. I stood up and changed quickly, getting ready for the backstage fans. "Ready?" Liam asked us putting his hand on Niall's shoulder, who was texting away on his phone, and smiling like a kid with candy. 

"Let's do this!" Louis shouted. I picked up my hoodie, throwing it on quickly, and putting my phone in my pocket. This should be fun. 

Alright, there is the next chapter. Sorry it took so long. Been busy! Hope you like it! let me know!
